Summary

Space War is the first game released by Vectorbeam after its founders left Cinematronics. It is essentially a very close version of Cinematronic’s Space Wars, which had in turn been brought to Cinematronics by Vectorbeam founder Larry Rosenthal as a prototype inspired by the 1962 PDP-1 game Spacewar.
